Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation in Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder
Background: Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) is a form of non-invasive brain stimulation that has aroused increased interests in the past decade. Not only that it is transient with little side-effects, and can be well-tolerated by children, it is also affordable and readily accessible, making it an appealing treatment option …
Just-In-Time Adaptive Interventions for Diabetic Patients
The addition of proactive nurse consultations was useful to older adults with diabetes mellitus in facilitating their chronic disease self-management. However, the service is time and resource-intensive. With the support of advanced technology, mhealth App seems to be a convenient way to support patients in managing diabetes.
Smartphone-based Self-Management Support Program to Enhance Quality of Life in Patients With COPD
The goal of this study is to find out if a smartphone-based program (called 3S-C) can help people with COPD live better, healthier lives. It will also look at how the program affects their knowledge, habits, and overall health. The main questions the study wants to answer are: Does the …
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Plus Exercise for Older People With Chronic Low-back Pain: A Pragmatic Cluster Randomised Controlled Trial
Low back pain (LBP) is the fifth-most common disorder among older adults 60 years or older. The prevalence of LBP increases with age, with the highest prevalence occurring at 85 years old. Because many older individuals face various age-related life challenges (e.g., comorbidities, financial difficulties, and bereavement), the addition of …
Mindfulness-Based Intervention for Caregivers of Frail Older Chinese Adults
This is study to investigate the effects of a brief mindfulness-based program for frail older adults caregivers.
Cumulative and Booster Effects of Multisession Prefrontal TDCS in ASD Adolescents
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by disturbances in communication, poor social skills, and aberrant behavior. To date, ASD has no known cure, and the disorder remains a highly disabling condition. Recently, transcranial direct-current stimulation (tDCS), a non-invasive brain stimulation technique, has shown great promise as a …
The Effect of Intermittent Theta Burst Stimulation on Brain Characteristics, Pain Intensity, and Cognitive Functions in Older People with Chronic Musculoskeletal Pain.
The goal of this clinical trial is to explore the effects of accelerated intermittent Theta Burst Stimulation (iTBS) on pain relief and cognitive function in older adults with chronic musculoskeletal pain. It will also utilize magnetic resonance imaging to illustrate the neurophysiological mechanisms underlying the role of iTBS in improving …
Intravenous Methadone for Sternotomy Pain Control in Cardiac Surgery
Background Postoperative pain is significant in cardiac surgical patients. Perioperative analgesia with intermittent administration of opioids can result in significant fluctuations in serum opioid concentrations. Methadone should provide a rapid onset and long-term pain relief upon a single intravenous dose at induction of anaesthesia, and may reduce chronic postsurgical pain …
Accelerated iTBS for Depression: Monitoring Brain Hemodynamics With Simultaneous iTBS/fNIRS
This study will investigate the cortical hemodynamic response variability of an accelerated form of TBS stimulation over left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) using a concurrent TBS/fNIRS setup. The accelerating TMS protocol that will be used in this study is similar to the Stanford Accelerated Intelligent Neuromodulation Therapy (SAINT), i.e., fifty …
Telemonitoring to Optimize Medication Titration for Heart Failure: a Feasibility Study
Problem: Aggressive titration of guideline-directed medical therapy is the cornerstone of heart failure management to reduce heart failure related hospitalization and mortality. A major hurdle to uptitration of medical therapy is the safety concerns of these medications namely hypotension and bradycardia. Early and frequent clinic visits will be required to …
